Autobond Limited Press releases

Intacta Print in Waterford, Ireland, says it has received many good reports from customers about the fast delivery and excellent quality of its laminated work since installing a MINI 74 TPH.

Autobond has chosen Northprint for the worldwide launch of the MINI 105 TPHS (Thermal, Perfector, Heidelberg, Stacker) laminator, which the Derbyshire manufacturer believes will become one of its best selling models.

Ireland's largest digital printer, McGowans, has installed an Autobond MINI 76 TPH to laminate the wide range of print produced on its Karat, Indigo and Xeikon digital presses. Owner Mal McGowan says that the Autobond machine has been so successful that it is expected to pay for itself in around six months.

The largest laminator ever constructed by UK manufacturer Autobond is due to leave the company's Derbyshire factory at the beginning of February to begin a journey across the seas to Texas trade laminator The Lamination Center.

Visitors to the booth of UK manufacturer Autobond at the Graphics of the Americas exhibition - 2nd to 4th March, Miami Beach, Florida - will be able to see demonstrations of one of the world's most successful sheet-fed thermal film laminators, the MINI 76 TP. This Autobond model had its worldwide launch at IPEX 2006 and has since become the company's best selling laminator.

Leeds printer Team Impression has completed a £2m investment programme with the installation of an Autobond MINI 76 TH laminator. During 2006 the company has taken delivery of additional multi-colour B1 press and high-end digital output facilities.

The foundations for what may eventually become one of the largest digital print operations in Europe were laid last year, following a $5m investment by New Era Publications International, which has been based in Copenhagen since 1969. The company is unique in that it publishes the works of one single author - L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) - who has just been awarded two Guinness World Records for Most Translated Author (71 languages) and Most Published Author (1,084 works).

Sprint Finishing reports a significant increase in work throughout its new Leeds factory following the installation of an Autobond MINI 76 TH thermal laminator.

Glasgow printer Creative Colour Bureau is now able to laminate work coming off its multi-colour Heidelberg presses and Xerox digital printers following the installation last month of an Autobond MINI 76 TH. The delivery of the thermal sheet-fed laminator has enabled the company to significantly reduce outwork costs, as print finishing manager, Steven McAllister explains.

Huddersfield-based print finisher Autobind has devoted £400,000 to boosting its customer offerings by purchasing an Autobond MINI Digital laminator, spiral and coil binders and two 12-station collators.
